Northwest Fishing Reports

The price of your license + extra money to fish the Columbia & tributaries + parking tickets on the rivers + tweekers breaking into you vehicle + no parking availabe for fishing + netting in the rivers = no fish. Almost makes you want to give it up. Seems being into sport fishing is getting more di...

I believe you meant to say "where are all the fish?", haha, just messin with ya. My guess is the majority are still to come, but this rain we are getting should liven things up. Fish are showing up in systems around here in catchable numbers, but it is still on the slow side. Give it another 2 week...

not just a rookie but also snagers. Anyone ever see a person climb a tree to spot fish and then try to snag fish 12 feet off the water in a tree. If is fun to watch it funny when they think they are going to be able to get the fish in and then fall and catch them selfs and lose there rod.... bye, b...

Yup. I use braid and floro. I change it up depending on the situation and the type of fishing I'm doing. Lately it's 15 # floro on the baitcaster. 12# mono for leader. No meatsticks here! Sorry to hear about your rod there scott. At least it had a warranty though.

Nice boots guys, but I thought this was supposed to be 2010 Boots?? I get the feeling you are tempted to dust off some old photos? Personally I like seeing all the boots. I don't even have a photo of any salmon yet for 2010. Gonna try and get somethin' this weekend. Boot or whatever, as long as it ...

I wonder if the netting schedule is so different this year because of the lack of pinks? Last year the nets were in there a LOT. This year it seems they are only given 24 hours to net each week. Not sure how the netting schedule breaks down this year bionic, but I can tell you the game wardens were...

Wow, Can't believe how slow the NASTY is. We had egg floater and bunch of drifters and only 1 fish caught and landed. It looked like a boot king. You can see fish flopping and jumping and having a good old time. What gives. I've heard the PUKE isn't much better. I remember last year around this tim...

Yup. Like how jens was just throwin' anything out there. Good laughs are always appreciated at the end of a long day of work.

Man this one looks fun!! I gotta try and squeeze my way in here... Deep lake maybe?

Hit the puyallup for a few hours this a.m. before work. Man, it was high! Be careful out there. Lots of logs comin' downriver. Didn't get any fish but the guy next to me got a nice chrome silver. They're in there, and in the coming weeks the push should get a little heavier. Just gotta put the time ...

Oh I'll be posting up some boots. I'm won't be keeping any, but I'll run into my fair share. I already have, but having issues loading the pic up. I have boots from years past as well, but the topic is for this year. Ok, caught this boot 8/25/10 - it tried to eat my corky :-$ There it is! I was wai...

Wow, where did this thread go?... Off into the wild blue yonder...

Dude, really?!! When are people gonna learn[-x [-x [-x ... I had that happen to my truck a while back. Some punk kid slashed it along with 5 other cars in the lot at my old apartment... 150 dollars later.... GRRRR![angry] [angry] [angry] Yah, if you see anything fishy out there (besides the good kin...

Nice pics bro. Looks like reiter.

Another tip, when you see a person leave to fight a fish, I say that spot that is vacated should still remain his/hers. Yup. Another big issue. Communication is key, but if you see someone fishing a hole and they get one on and start taking it down/upriver, don't just jump into their hole. If it's ...

BRING THE RAIN!!!!!

It's part of Rookie Hazing.

Ahh, the rookie hazing. Gotta love it!

If you see someone with a fish on, pull out ASAP. It's only common courtesy if it's comin' your way. After all, isn't that what we're all there for. Other than that just try to get along with those around you and have fun. That's what counts and hey, you might even meet some really great people. The...

Very true Pooh. If you are going to spend as much time as we spend on the rivers, it really boils down to how that rod feels in your hands. Some guys I fish with don't have a Loomis or Lami and they catch a crap load of fish. And then there are those and I am one of them, who have to have a Loomis ...

BRING THE RAIN!!!!!
